I had such high hopes for this book as the premise was very interesting and the beginning was good enough to grab my attention.

The hero was the heroine’s late husband’s comrades in war and went to visit the heroine to offer his condolences. The heroine was blind and was treated negligently by her family. She wanted to stay at her late husband’s place and was prevented by the family to do so. She sought the hero’s help in order to achieve independence and the hero came up with the idea of a fake betrothal so that he can whisk her away under the pretense of getting to know each other better as the hero’s place is only a few miles away from the late husband’s place.

I do love the main character with the physical disability trope. This book, however, is bogged down by stilted dialogues and mundane events. The writing style isn’t my cup of tea as well. I just felt emotionally detached from the story. I hate to say this, but the book is just plain boring to me. She is a new to me author and if this book is an indication of her style, I’m going to have to give her other books a miss.
